Yes.

Oh wait... you weren't merely baiting us, were you Rick. Meeting Wednesday, January 20th in the first year of the new decade, 2010. ;)

Same bat time, same bat channel.

Please be careful on the way to the meeting. Wednesday's storm might end up being the worst in years and it should peak about the commute time.

I'm with you here Steve. Not sure if we should give some thought to an alternate date. Both my cars have "race" street rubber and are ludicrously bad in heavy rain. I don't want to risk life and limb for a meeting!

R1R's bad in the rain ?

I hear you can get 16000 miles out of Hoosier Rains....

They're great in the wet, but the car aquaplanes like crazy in standing water. Wide tires and a light car are not a great combo in a deluge. Driving home from that wet practice in December was one of the scariest drives I've ever had!

Yes you can, and it was only raining for about 200 out of the 16000 miles.

Drove on the RE11s that came on the wheels...not the most treaded tires out there, but no issues. shocked they stick harder with no tread than my Michelin street rubbers do WITH tread. go figure.

Debating the technicalities of whether it's the new decade or not, it WILL be POURING rain ala cats & dogs, so prepare to leave early for the meeting or expect a late start. Unless said meeting is postponed. Just throwing it out there to the powers that be
